9 ART AND THE ARTIST

 

Art for art’s sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden . . . it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.

11 WAR AND PEACE

Do dreams offer lessons? Do nightmares have themes, do we awaken and analyze them and

live our lives and advise others as a result? Can the foot soldier teach anything important
